Revelations:
Alien Contact
and
Human Deception

[Paperback]

by Jacques Vallée

In REVELATIONS, the final volume of a trilogy,
Dr. Jacques Vallee presents startling evidence
that well-constructed hoaxes and media manipulations
have misled UFO researchers, diverting them from
the UFO phenomenon itself. Vallee takes readers
step by step into the tangled web of UFOlogy's
dark side, in an effort to clear the ever-thickening
underbrush that has obscured the real nature of
the UFO phenomenon.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Astrophysicist Vallee's venture into parapsychology
is less likely to lure or convert skeptics than
did the two previous volumes ( Dimension and Confrontations
) in his trilogy. Many readers will find a strain
of paranoia in the author's argument that a lot
of so-called sightings of unidentified flying objects
in the past 40 years are the result of "complex
hoaxes . . . carefully engineered for our benefit," with
witnesses the victims. These incidents, Vallee
believes, have been arranged by private groups
with fantastic delusions which they want to spread,
or by government agencies engaged in psychological
warfare. He cites instances of willing dupes taken
in by bizarre tales--one contended that aliens
now working here had been captured by the U.S.
military; another that a subterranean community
of humanoids toiled beneath the New Mexico desert.

From
Library Journal
Vallee, a respected investigator in a difficult field (he was the real-life model
behind the French scientist in Steven Spielberg's film Close Encounters of the
Third Kind ), here presents the final volume of his recent trilogy of reports.
(The first two are Dimensions: A Casebook of Alien Contact , Contemporary Bks.,
1988, and Confrontations: A Scientist's Search for Alien Contact , LJ 3/1/90.)
Readers with some background in the puzzling UFO phenomenon of the last 40 years
will appreciate his insights. He pulls no punches with both government obfuscation
and the lunatic fringe of UFO cultists. Most valuable is his international scope.
There are few answers here, but several suggestions for rational lines of research.
Recommended.
